All-Americans Dominate
Opponent Cage Team
By SANDY PADWE
All-Americans Jerry West
of West Virginia, Pickles Ken
nedy of Temple and Terry
Dischinger of Purdue head the
1959-60 all-opponent basket
ball team chosen by Penn State
players and coaches
Two sophomores, Temple's Russ
Coulon and Colgate's Bob Duffy,
round out the team which was
selected in a special poll for the
Collegian.
All five stars played big roles
in victories over the Nittany Lions
the; year, especially West.
Called the best all-around
player in the country, West
proved it to Lion fans by scor
ing 60 points, and leading all
the rebounders in two games
against State.
Ile had 34 points in West Vir
ginia's 104-74 win in Morgantown
and added 26 more, most of them
in the clutch, when the fifth
tanked Mon - tit - les squeezed out a
75-73 win at Hee Hall.
Kennedy did his share of dam
age too as Temple beat the Lions,
60-50, in the Keystone Classic
and 79-68 last Friday in Philadel
phia.
The 5-11 playmaker was the
big offensive gun for the Owls
with 49 points, but he had
plenty of help from Gordon,
one of the most promising
r)phomores in the country.
Gordon was a demon off the
hoards, pulling down 25 rebounds
in Hairkburg and 12 in Philadel
phia and whenever Temple need-

Mounties Top Navy
Special to The Collegian
NEW YORK, March 8, (AP)—All-American Jerry West
scored 34 points, topped the rebounders and did most of the
playmaking tonight as fifth ranked West Virginia defeated
plucky Navy, 94-86, in a first round game in the NCAA East
ern Regional basketball tournament at Madison Square
Garden.
The victory sent the Mounties,
runnerup in last year's NCAA
championship, into the Eastern
semi-finals at Charlotte, N.C.,
Friday night against streaking
NYU.
The Violets opened tonight's ac
tion heating Connecticut, 78-59,
as little Russ Cunningham bombed
open the liconn's ,one defense
with some eye-popping sharp
shooting.
West's play was by far his
best in New York. He hit 12 of
21 field goals. 10 of 15 free
throws and grabbed 15 re
bounds. He also had five as
sists.
'The 6.3 senior from Cabin
Creek, W. Va , broke the game
open %visit two wonderful flur
i
The first burst, in which Jer
ry scored eight points and set
up two other baskets, fired the
Mounties from a 27-24 lead with
seven minutes to go to a 44-32
halftime lead.
When the score was 58-53 in
favor of West Virginia, West went
to work again. In the next eight
minutes he scored 16 of \Vest Vir
ginia's 30 points, set up Lee Pat

ed a few points, he was right
there. The 6-5 leaper put Friday's
game on ice for the Owls with
three straight buckets after State
had narrowed the gap to 48-44
midway in the second half.
Dischinger, who will be at Rec
Hall next December when Pur
due comes to town, has been
named to every All-American
team this year.
Only a sophomore, he wound
up as one of the top ten scorers
in the nation. Dischinger was at
his hest, scoring 25 points, when
point plays and Joe Posch for an
easy layup. By that time the
score was 88-69 and the Mounties
were home.

basketball team for 1959-60.

poll of the season had the Oscar
Robertson-led Bearcats perched
in the top seat just where they
have been since the first poll was
taken in December.
Now it's up to the Ohio five to
prove its merit in the NCAA
championships against a talented
field that includes California's de
fending champs, the No. 2 team
in the poll.
Since The AP basketball poll
began in 1949, six of the 11 quin
tets chosen for the No. 1 rating
crowned their campaigns with
NCAA titles.
A year ago, however, Kansas
State was named the top team
and then was upset in the early
NCAA eliminations. California,
ranked 11th, beat Cincinnati in
the semifinals and then edged
